William Jacob Mims, 21, of 305 Ashwick Court, Spartanburg, has been charged with carrying a weapon on school grounds and 10 counts of second-degree burglary, according to online jail records.

College spokeswoman Laura Corbin said several students reported items stolen from their unlocked rooms in November, including clothing, medication and electronic items.

Mims, a junior transfer student, was identified as a suspect through surveillance camera footage. Police searched his car and found a gun inside, Corbin said. Wofford has a zero tolerance policy for gun possession on campus, and Mims was expelled immediately, Corbin said.

Mims targeted one residence hall.

"This is not a common occurrence," Corbin said. "We do encourage our students to lock their rooms."

Mims was released from the Spartanburg County Detention Center on Thursday on a $110,000 bond.
